Does diffusing really make a huuge difference in the results after drying? How many of you dont diffuse? I havent tried it because i dont have an attatchment. They dont sell those individually here. The blowdriers tht they sell here are super pricey. :/ so yea. Thanks

So I've only been air-drying lately and it still looks pretty good! If I really need to, I'll do a quick pixie-diffuse for just a couple minutes.

As far as the attachment goes, I bought mine off of Amazon for 10 bucks. It's from Revlon but I have a Conair hair dryer and it works just fine. Good luck!!!!

So i'll just prolly steal an attatchment from my stylist. Haha! Kidding.. I'll invest on a good blowdrier then. Thanks again

I pixie diffuse on my fine, way hair because the weight of the wet hair stretches out my waves. It's still cold here so I am not sure if it will change with warner weather. HTH

I've been diffusing lately because my hair is currently short (just below chin length) and it gets wonky if I plop it. So pixie-diffusing gives me better waves and the possibility of 2nd day hair.

When my hair was longer, I plopped rather than diffused. My waves get more defined & spirally when my hair is long, but at this length I have a rather weak wave pattern and need all the help I can get. Hence the diffusing.

Also it is COLD around here in the winter and I hate sitting around shivering with wet hair. In the summer it is not a big deal to air dry, though.
